Medway for Business Network
We’ve launched a Medway for Business group to establish a network of local business owners.
This will provide a productive platform to voice your opinions directly to Medway Council and other local businesses.
We’re aiming to ensure Medway businesses have all the infrastructure and support they need to thrive.
This network is driven by the Medway for Business Board which aims to:
- develop and implement a shared vision for local economic growth
- work in partnership on the delivery of Medway 2035 strategy and Medway Skills and Employability Plan
- giving Medway a strong voice to share the area's investment priorities at county, regional and national level
- find and help address barriers to investment including transport, broadband, skills and employability, premises and sites
- identify strategic opportunities for economic growth, employment and prosperity
- develop and put in place solutions that help Medway maximise its economic potential
- promote business start-ups and a culture of innovation, enterprise and entrepreneurship
